Thank you @PGov for putting forward this budget proposal.
Taking into account the ETH/OP repricing logic used across other councils (1 ETH = 1886 OP for Season 7 and 1 ETH = 4580 OP for Season 8), the M&M Council’s budget increases from approximately 90 ETH to 108 ETH. This represents a moderate adjustment and we find it to be consistent with previous season 7.
Reviewer stipends increase from 25000 OP in season 7 to 60900 OP in season 8/9, and the lead role moves from 35000 OP (around 18.5 ETH in season 7) to 85200 OP (around 18.6 ETH in season 8/9). This maintains a perfect parity in ETH terms. We believe the structure is sound, and we particularly welcome the new allocations for analytics, tooling, and reporting.
For these reasons:
The SEEDGov delegation, as we have communicated here, being an Optimism delegation with sufficient voting power, we believe this proposal is ready to move towards a vote.
